Question

The order of reactivity of following alcohols with halogen acids is ___________.(A) CH3CH2 —CH2—OH (B) (C)(i) (A) > (B) > (C)(ii) (C) > (B) > (A)(iii) (B) > (A) > (C)(iv) (A) > (C) > (B

Solution

The reactivity of alcohols with halogen acids depends on the type of alcohol (primary, secondary, tertiary).

  1. Identify the type of each alcohol: (A) CH3CH2 —CH2—OH is a primary alcohol. (B) is not specified in the question. (C) is also not specified in the question.

  2. Understand the reactivity order: Tertiary alcohols > Secondary alcohols > Primary alcohols. This is because tertiary alcohols form more stable carbocations, which are intermediates in the reaction with halogen acids.

  3. Apply the reactivity order to the given alcohols: Since the types of alcohols for (B) and (C) are not given, we cannot definitively rank them. However, we know that (A), a primary alcohol, would be less reactive than secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Without the full information for (B) and (C), we cannot complete the ranking. Please provide the structures for (B) and (C) to get a complete answer.
